@ReadStar: The cloak is made from a recipe that you can barter at the Survivors of Wildermore.

I don't remember exactly how long ago, but there was a post in which someone asked for a hunter outfit that is affordable. When the Bounders Bounty event started and the German servers finished the challenge rather soon, I thought it would be good to create a character on Nimrodel to help them a bit. As I didn't yet have a charater there (left alone cosmetic items) I had to start from scratch. So I picked up everything that looked interesting, swapped a few pieces when I found better ones, and finally he looked like this.

I know, double posting is bad, but this character is a different one, with a longer story.

My main characters needed a jeweler that would make hope talismans for them. As I didn't yet have a lore master, I decided it would be one of these. For quite some time he did only this, polishing gems, crafting a bit of jewelery, and the talismans. At that time, he was at a really low level, because crafting didn't yet give experience points. All that he had, was a plumed hat and the snow dusted robe from a Yule Festival.

Another Yule Festival came, and this time he had to choose whether to aid the poor, or help the rich. Honest man as he was, he decided that the poor needed more for a living, and was rewarded with the Frostbluff Robe of Thanks. This was the moment when he turned into a blue wizard.

It turned out to be more difficult than expected. The Baingarab was already there and just required a bit of Ered Luin Blue dye; but the Elven Padded Gloves of Fleetness and the Elven Cloth Shoulder Pads had yet to be found within the game. For a while, he wore the Fine Scholar's Cloak which was a bit pale, and then replaced it by a Golden Tree Summer Cloak from the Summer Festival, dyed Navy; while everything else was colored in Ered Luin Blue. He was looking for a decent pair of shoes, too, but wasn't really lucky.

Some time later, I leveled him up so far that he could obtain some Dunland reputation, so that he could barter the recipes for the Commune with Nature talismans. After this, I took him on a really grand tour through all of the Isengard expansion. And he began to change.

In Lalias Market, there is this first store booth to the left, seen from the entrance from the Market Place. It offers all kinds of sets, and a lot of headgear. My eyes fell on the Ceremonial Far-Arrow's Helm, a Mirkwood hunter set headpiece, which looks really outstanding. I checked if it could be dyed, and it was; but the result was hard to see on the black background of the Dressing Room.

Yet I had the feeling that it didn't match the rest of the cosmetics well. So I went to the Lotro-Wiki and scoured it for the quest rewards of the Isengard expansion, to find some pieces that might go well with this headgear, and then began my round through Dunland. When I got to the Quest 'Throw the Yoke', I chose the Tattered Robe of the Dunland Sage for its fine damask design, and equipped it. At the same moment I noticed that I had overlooked something important. This Robe has short sleeves! There my poor loremaster stood with half bare arms, without anything to cover them, for the last long gloves of light armor had been a quest reward in the lone lands, and he had ditched them long ago.

What a bummer. I searched the Lotro-Wiki, but looking for 'light armor long gloves' didn't yield anything useful. Ouch. How am I supposed to find something that obviously doesn't have the respective tag in the database?

As a last resort I clicked on the long glove icon that belonged to Brethilwen's Work Gloves, and hoped that it would lead me to another page with a list. And the list was there; and it showed several references to quest rewards that included light long gloves, and the best thing was that they could be obtained in the Dunlands. Phew. All that my lore master would have to do, was to move on and collect the gloves at the right moment, until the set was finished.

When he came to Isengart, he looked like this.

for anyone who is wondering about this unusual point of view: The picture was taken by a Hobbit

I couldn't equip any boots, because they clip through the trousers of the robe in a very ugly manner.

Since he started wearing this setup, I get strange reactions from other people; they whistle at my lore master, or move close as if they want to take a picture with a celebrity. Maybe they are just wondering if they had missed this set in Lalia's Market, or whatever. Well, it isn't offered there (yet?), except for the headpiece. But you can make it yourself if you are diligent.

I LOVE the hunter outfit! looks very rohany and stuff! I can't wait until I get there! I <3 the cosmetics!

Many thanks for the praise. I just updated the previous post so that you can find about where I get those outfits ^^

Also, here is my Burglar

===

Kondo Quickhand - The Burglar

Currently, my Burglar is at lv40, and I intend to play him with an EXP disabler in the future.\

Finding cosmetic outfit for a hobbit is often tougher than I thought, especially a hobbit-lad. Wearing a tunic make a hobbit looks pretty fat at the stomach, and I don't like to look at their old-looking face. I guess I have been used to Frodo's face in the movie.

He is a burglar, so I want him look burglar-like. By the time I played him, I have already collected a bunch of outfit, and I found that Dunland quest rewards seemed to be designed for burglar. The mask help me hide its annoying face, the Ranger's boots with a knife made him look professional, and the chest piece amazingly hide his fat belly.

I don't use cloak on this, because the cloak clipped into the shoulder piece. These hobbits have board shoulder for some reason

In my eye, this outfit makes him look like a tough opponent to face head-on, and you don't want him to suddenly to "Kick" you from behind with that kind of boots.

You can try some random cosmetic boxes at festivals. If memory serves me right, i got mine from a spring festival box. The Yule Festival has a barterer which offers cosmetic gift boxes for tokens, too; and if you are lucky you might find one inside.

My burg, Tyv. Not the best pic. He's just wearing the fishing outfit dyed black. I though it was cool when I did it when the fishing outfit first came out, but now I see it on a lot of toons. He has a cool gift box backpack dyed black, too.

And the champ. She has a couple outfits, but I don't have a lot of screenies of her. She's my only heavy armour toon and it's fun to finally get to play with heavy armour looks!

Anyone happen to know the pieces for the red set at the bottom? I really like it. Thanks

Really nice outfits!. Any chance someone could tell me what boots those are in the Moria Outfit? ; ) THanks!

They can be found as Dunland quest rewards: "Clanweave Shoes" is the shortest name, but they share graphics with "Threadbare Shoes of the Dunland Healer" and "Elegant Silk Shoes". Light armour pieces that visually work quite well, imo...

I've been modifying my scholar/hunter's outfit as I level and get new crafting options. I like it better now. This is still a cheap set (because I'm too cheap to buy expensive cosmetics :P ), all or nearly all craftable by tailors in middle levels (the pieces are L30-50ish); only one I'm not sure about is the leggings, but I think those are the same as something around L50. I had a burgundy-dyed Cloak of the Raven and Mathom-Hunter's Helmet on as well but got tired of them.

Use this outfit on my Captain. Is there no spoiler bbc code? My pictures are pretty large and would benefit from something like it.

In case anyone is wondering, the armour is a full set of Westemnet Skirmish Armour dyed white, minus the helmet. The cloak is a cloak called the Ever-Shadow, dyed Forest green. The Hood/mask is Lesser Secret Helmet of the West dyed Rivendell green.
